7. HOW TO TACKLE CALENDARS AND DATE RELATED PROBLEMS
July 11, 2014

Hello readers , quite often we see a problem like this . If 1st april
2004 is sunday what will

be 5 may 2012 and we simply dont know from where to start and how to
tackle this kind of

problem. Have a look to a method which would look complex in the first
attempt but really fast

and accurate in solving calendar and date relating problems.


CALENDARS

BASICS FOR CALENDARS:

■Ordinary year = 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 odd day (365/7)
■Leap year = 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 odd days (366/7)
■The years with multiples of 400 have “0” odd days.
■1 century = 100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years =76*1 + 24
* 2 = 124 odd days = 124/7

= 17 weeks + 5 odd days. Hence, for 100 years 5 odd days
■Last day of a century will be Friday, Wednesday, Monday, or Sunday.


DOOMSDAY ALGORITHM:

Doomsday: Last day of February, 4th of April, 6th of June, 8th of
August, 10th of October and

12th

of December, will have the same days.

Doomsday for a year = Anchor + [YY/12] + Remainder of [YY/12] +
{Remainder of [YY/12] / 4}

Anchor for: 1800 – 1899 is: Friday

1900 – 1999 is: Wednesday

2000 – 2099 is: Tuesday

2100 – 2199 is: Sunday



EXAMPLES:

1) Today is Monday, what will be the day 61 days later?

Sol: Monday + 61 days = Monday + 5 odd days = Saturday

(61 / 7 = 5 odd days)

2) If 17th march 2008 was Monday, what day was, 1st April, 2012?

Sol: 17th mar’08 = Mon = 17th mar’12 = Mon + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = Mon + 5 = Saturday

Since: 17th mar’09 will have 1 odd day; 17th mar’10 will have 1 odd
day, 17th mar’11 will have

1 odd day and 17th mar’12 will have 2 odd days (cause, 2012 is a leap year)

1st apr’12 = Sat + 15 days = Sat + 1 odd day = Sunday

3) Which year will have the exact same calendar as 2009?

Sol: 2009 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 2015

2009 + number of odd days in 2010 + odd days in 2011 + and so on till
the sum of the number of

odd days gets equal to 7.

4) Which year will have the exact same calendar as 1983?

Sol: 1983 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 1988 will have the exact same calendar as 1983

5) What day of the week was 15th august, 1947?

Sol: Doomsday = Wednesday + (47/12) + Remainder of (47 / 12) + [Rem of
(47 / 12)] /4

= Wednesday + 3 + 11 + 11/4 = Wednesday + 3 + 11 + 2 = Wednesday + 16

= Wednesday + 2 = Friday = 8th August, 1947 = Friday

15th August = 8th August + 7 days = Friday + 7 days = Friday + 0 odd
days = Friday

Hence, 15th August 1947 was Friday
